TIE C4SE OF MRS. FORD.

Judging from the statements in the California
papers, the police of Jersey City need hesitate
no longer in coming TO the conclusion that
Mrs. Ford, the woman who told so strange a
story about the disappearance OF her three
children and her baggage, is suffering from
delusons il she is not deliberate impostor'
The journals in question can find no single
fact to corroborate her story. Nobody has
ever heard Of Locust Valley, the place she
saws she lived in. There are no such copper
mines as she described. There are no such
persons as she has named There is no such
railroad station as she pretends TO have started
from. Every statement made by her has been
carefully inquired into By the press ana the
police of California, and every statement has
becn ascertained to be false. No such woman,
moreover, has been recognized anywhere, and
it is not improbable that her story OF having
come from California is as untrue as all inc
rest. The presumption, OF course Is that she
has not lost any children; that she had none
TO lose and quite possibly she had no baggage
either. but invented the whole sensational story.
Il must be said that the circums tances arc
far more Indicative of insanity than fraud.
1t is scarcely possible to conceive sane
reason for so elaborate and useless a deception
as she appears to have practlscd' nor Is IL
likely that q sane person would have gone SO
far as to accuse the car-portcr Poindexter'
of having stolen the mythical children, Win
tho result Of dcpriving him of his liberty ana
iniuring him so seriously. The position OF this
man indeed, is the most embarrassing feature
of the case. Certainly he ought not TO DC
detained any longer upon the complaint OF a
woman who is so plainly irresponsible Yet
though there may be no doubt as to his inno-
cence. there seems no way by which nc can
obtain compensation or redress for the wrong
done him. As to Mrs. Ford, her mental con-
dtion should be made the subject oil careful
investigation. II she is not mad there wouid
seem no escape from the conclusion that sho
has consciously practised an imposition ana
the only difficult circumstance about the case
is the finding of plausible explanation OF her
conduct. She has given great deal OF
trouble. made necessary much expense, and done
mischief to an apparently innocent man. fcr-
hans IL will not demand much greater ex-
ncndturc Of time and trouble to get at the
motive or the cause Of her extraordinary
proceedings, and, at all events, the inquiry
should be pursued il only for the satisfaction
% .bose whom she has accused

the circumstances II seems highly propapio
that the Coercion Act will break down Dy
tho weight and confusion Of Its machinery
The length to which the Government is wlilhe
to 90 in provoking bloodshed is shown by tho
evidence brought out at Mitchelstown. 1t ID
clear that the assault upon the meeting was
a deliberate attempt, in violation OF inc
practice of seven years. to create trouble Tor
nartisan ends. In England the perpetrators
of such an offence would be regarded as muir
derers. but in ireland the Government treats
them as patriots.
Governor Hill was more facotious than frank
in his address to the Orange County farmers.
He told them that they would only have them
selves to blame if they persisted in remaining
in ignorance of their agricultural duties in the
face of the wisdom that was being scattered
about at county fairs by himself and other
public men. But, fortunately for the farmers
they know how to rate such wisdom" as the
Governor imparts at its true worth. Ills
partisan arraignment Of the Legislature Tor
not adopting his views on taxation must have
made the Orange County farmers smile. Ii
the Governor had not vetoed the bills taxing
liquor-shops and bucket-shOps and similar
measures, the farmers would have little or no
State tax to pay. The Governors anxiety has
not been to relieve the farmers, but TO protect
the liquor dealers and SPECTATORS

failure with enormous liabilities and
practically no assets has suspicious look. In
the case of K. s. Wheeler g. Co., of New
Haven, there seems to be good ground for the
suspicion, and Mr.. Wheeler is now under
arrest. There were failures OF this kind be-
fore Ferdinand Wards day, but they have
become much more numerous Of late. IL such
arrests as that of Wheeler in New-Haven,
Faulkner in Evansville and Harper in Cincin-

The experience of the city with the con-
tractor who has the work of repaving Fifth
ave. in charge ought to suggest the need of
more stringent precautions in future contracts
Of that kind There was no need of allowing
so much time for the completion of the
work. This has led to the long blockade OF
the street. causing serious annoyance to the
public. For this the city authorities who
made the contract are as much to blame as the
contractor.

The talk Of Republicans in attendance at the
State Committee meeting, as given elsewhere
in to-days TRIBUNE, is hopeful indication
of success at the polls. Confidence, harmony
and determination to win prevailed on all
sides. When supplemented by good work
ing committee. this kind of talk, as a member
expressed it, means business. II is also graft
flying to learn that the Committee fayors a
speaking canvass. Republicans %annot be
stirred up too much in that way.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
They Open the Campaign at Ham,
iIfOn-Mr. PowelPS Speech.

HAMILTON, O., Sept THE opening
meeting of the state campaign of the
Democratic party was held here this
evening. 1t was very large and en-
jthusiastic meeting. The Duckworth
and Ohio clubs, of Cincinnati, and the
Jefferson club, of Springfield, were in
attendance, as well as a number of lead
ing Democrats from other parts of the
state. The first speech was made by
Hon. Thomas E. Powell, candidate for
governor He had an enthusiastic re-
ceItion and his speech was listened to
by a large concourse of people, who
from time to time gave evidence of their
appreciation of his points by applause.
MIR. Powell devoted nearly one-third of
his time to Gov. Foraker and his admin
istration. Speaking of what was de-
manded of governor of Ohio, the third
state in the Union, he said Foraker's at
tack upon President Cleveland
in his speech of acceptance
was unworthy one aspiring to such
a high office, and, for it, he had received
condemnation at the hands Of private
citizens and from the public press
throughout the country. He claimed
also that Gov. Foraker had publicly in
shifted the 100000 Democratic voters of
Ohio by referring to them in his speech
as the "Rebel brigade" and as Con
federates" and ''Dirty Democrats" He
elassed this method as of the character
as the governors charge on former
occasion that the Democratic manage

Fifth district in the hollow of his hand and

From the 5th to the 18th of July the
st. Paul team struck a winning gait,
taking eleven straight games and get
ting i'll the lead for the pennant on the
latter date. There was rude awaken
ing, however. on the 10Th, and the
Sanity City aggregation retained its
position in the van but twenty-four
hours. The team after that lost pretty
steadily and dropped away to fourth
place. Seeing there was but slight
chance of getting any lower, the team
took another brace and started for the
front. Since a week ago last Sunday it
has played eight games, winning them
all, and yesterday Milwaukee dropped
another game to Oshkosh and ST. Paul
went up to first place without strug-
gle. For the next three days ST. Paul
plays with the strong DeS MOines team,
While Milwaukee toys with Duluth. The
chances are, therefore, favorable to
Milwaukee regaining first place tempo
rarily. There is, however, just enough
uncertainty about the matter to make

the games with increased interest. Tie

ment of the penitentiary had been max
Ing, canes from human skins-negrCes
and Irishmen." This charge, he said,
was based solely on the statement of
some inmates of the insane ward of the
penitentiary. Speaking of the matter of
the rebel flags, he said the governor, by
his conduct at soldiers reunions, and
especially at Wheeling, had disgusted
the best men in his own party, and they
had called a halt on him. This
had gone to such an extent
that the executive committee
had issued second edition of his
speeches, and, unlike the tariff, they had
been both revised and reformed. Going
back to his first topic. he said the people
wanted governor who would give less
attention to the war that ended twenty
years ago, and more to the peaceful
problems OF the present and future.
The administration Of Foraker was
compared with the Democratic admins
tratiOn of the state, and figures were
presented to prove that the present
state administration had not only been
more expensive than any of the Demo-
cratic administrations, but the most
reckleSsly eXtrayagant administration
we had ever had in the state. The ques-
ton OF tariff reform was discussed at
some length and occupied about one
third of the address. He favored thor
ough revision of the present system and
said that the tariff should be so reduced
that no more reserve should be raised
than the government needed. He adj
vocated keeping the taxes upon whisky,
tobacco and articles of luxury,
and making food, clothing and arti-
cles of necessity and general consump-
ton cheaper. He gave some attention
to FOraker's claim of the blessings of
prohibition as given in his article in the
forum, and made considerable ridicule
OF several statements in that article.
He next gave summary of what had
been done by the national admins
tration, such as recovering the lands
which had been granted to railroad cor
porations by the Republican party, and
stated that the Democratic party had
not granted single acre of the public
domain to railroad corporations, and
had not extended or revived single
grant. He also gave the facts upon
which he based his claim that Cleve-
lands administration had done more
for the soldiers and their dependent
relatives than any Republican admins
tration. He closed his speech with a
tribute to President Cleveland and his
work, and claimed that the party which
had done so we'll with national affairs
was the party to be trusted with the adj
ministration of our state affairs.

Mayor AmeS takes as much interest in the

vigilance of the police, many of the globes
